'All About Steve' stars Sandra Bullock and Ryan Reynolds. I'm a big fan of Sandy's, so I was really looking forward to this one. And again, she didn't let me down.
'All About Steve' is basically about a woman who stalks a blind date, thinking he's the one! The movie is very well put together and quite funny. There weren't that many great laughs, but lots of pretty good ones. Many chuckles... It does, however, have a nice moral lesson wrapped up in it which I love! It probably won't go down as a great movie, but definitely not bad.
Aside from a really quick make-out scene that's much funnier than provocative, this one is ok for the kids.
A good watch!

The Damned United ***1/2
'The Damned United' is based on the career of Brian Clough who was a British soccer manager.
Even though I don't care about soccer, I still enjoyed this story. It's based on part of Clough's career, in which he overcomes many obstacles.
It's well done and quite entertaining. I even became a 'football' fan for a few minutes.
It's also fine for the kids, if they're interested.
A good watch!

The Invention of Lying ***
'The Invention of Lying' stars Ricky Gervais and Jennifer Garner, with cameos by Tina Fey, Philip Seymour Hoffman and Jason Bateman, to name a few.
The premise of the movie is that of an idealistic world where everyone tells the truth, all the time. They are not capable of lying. Here, the plot becomes a little interesting when the title character discovers that he can lie.
Then, there's a whole religious thing that they throw in. Apparently, they don't have God in this idealistic, truthful world. And he introduces Him. This became sort of strangely uncomfortable as they kind of poke fun at religion and spirituality. This part really bothered me and I'm sure would bother others.
Even though this is rated PG-13, I would probably try to keep even the teenagers away from it, only because of the very frank, truthful, discussions about sex.
All in all, it's an interesting movie; worth the watch if you have an open mind!
